[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in education and people who came of age and were still in K-12 or college during COVID are developmentally stunted. They don't seem to have coping or problem solving skills and ignore deadlines and have trouble taking initiative.[/quote] We’re moving school districts next summer and are holding our daughter back - she’s young for her class and has diagnosed learning disabilities, and covid was a huge challenge to her learning. I don’t know why it’s so difficult for people to acknowledge the intense trauma we all experienced. Just because some of us coped better or were less materially affected does not invalidate other people’s experiences. I guess that’s another fun legacy of covid: a notable decrease in empathy and compassion. Ironically.[/quote] But so much if it was self inflicted. That doesn’t make everyone a victim. People went way overboard and now have to suffer the consequences.[/quote] This. Exactly. There is no excuse, for example, for young people to think at all now about covid, let alone still be anxious about it in any way. If your kids are still afflicted by covid worry it is 100% the fault of their parents. [/quote] Who said that their kids are still anxious about COVID? I didn't see anyone say that. But young people, especially teens and young adults, are still impacted by COVID. I get that you think they are stupid if they test when they have symptoms and isolate when positive or wear a mask if their roommates or close friends have COVID, but many people still do that in accordance with public health advice guidance and their school policies. Many people, including their teachers, professors, and classmates, want them to do that, and there are consequences. The holier-than-thou vibe on this thread is from people who did their own thing during COVID and have no compassion for anyone else who made different choices.[/quote]
